I'm trying my hand at poetry. I generally haven't enjoyed much poetry I have read, but I see the benefit for improving my writing. Here's something I wrote the other day. Am I getting it?

had a great writing session. I was just describing pain for like.... 8 pages. Stream of consciousness. I realized that maybe I know a little too much about pain. LOL

What subject do you excel at describing?

This writing season is going great. So in the last 2 days I've written 4000 words, which is 1/8th the entire progress I made last winter. Separated my characters storylines into their own documents so I don't feel pressure to write linearly, chapter to chapter.

What are your tips and tricks for writing productivity?

What genre do you write?

I struggle to define what I'm writing. It takes place in a zombie apocalypse, but I wouldn't say its about zombies. Its about people, relationships, and hardship. Its a road trip, a tragedy and a comedy. It just happens to have zombies as a hardship to endure. How to I pick a buzzword to describe a whole story that isn't really about the thing you would define it by?

When I write, its something takes over. Like a demon whispering in my ear, or a parasite burrowing into my brain and controlling my fingers. I dont know where the words come from, and I dont know how the story will end, I just wish whatever possessed me had better grammar and typing skills.

Do you have runaway characters?

I thought I had a plan for my novel, plotted out 15 story beats, whole 9 yards. Then I started writing it, and my characters started making their own choices as I helplessly watched, screaming "what are you doing?!?!"

Do I need a therapist? Or is this normal?
